The U.S. plastics industry in 2023 in seven charts

The U.S. imported plastics machinery amounting to 1.8 billion dollars, with projected import values of 129.4 million dollars in October and 150.1 million dollars in November. This year’s total imports have decreased by 4.4 dollars compared to the previous year. As a primary importer of plastics equipment, this data serves as a key indicator for understanding plastics manufacturing. Typically, an upsurge in plastics machinery imports signifies robust plastic conversion. The reduced imports of plastics equipment this year correlate with the decline in plastics product manufacturing. The possibility of an uptick in plastics equipment imports in 2024 relies on increased plastics production, provided there is a limited inventory of plastics equipment available.
